He Was the One Who Chose the Shiba Clan

Facing the confrontation from Tachikawa.

Instead of replying, Gin pressed Zanpakuto at his waist.

"Put away your childish caution." Tachikawa's merciless sarcasm rang out as he watched Gin's posture, ready to draw his sword at any moment. His pink ahoge (antenna-like hair sticking up) twitched.

"Let me tell you a secret first: Dōsan Hanyū's abilities might be incredibly terrifying."

"Heh." Moonlight illuminated Yin's profile; what could possibly pique that man's interest was far from simple.

Do you even need to use "maybe"?

"Lieutenant Tachikawa, I still have to carry out Lord Aizen's orders. Please don't stop me anymore."

Sure enough, the weirder the hair, the lower the IQ. Tachikawa is practically on par with that guy Ichimonji Tsunayashiro.

Seeing that Gin was still being stubborn, Tachikawa's expression became even more disdainful.

"But."

The pause of those two words brought Yin to a complete halt.

"When Dōsan Hanyū uses his ability, there is a price to pay, a very serious price. This is probably why Aizen is unwilling to touch this ability, or even to come into contact with Dōsan Hanyū."

Silver's squinty eyes opened, and her heart skipped a beat.

He recalled his earlier question: why Aizen wasn't tempted by abilities at the level of Correctness of Revision."

What was the price?

Yin was already 70% convinced. This wasn't just simple curiosity; if he could utilize Dōsan Hanyū's abilities, he could increase the success rate of his assassination.

"I don't know, I don't even have a clue, which is one of the reasons I came to you."

Tachikawa shook his head and looked at Gin Ichimaru.

It has to be said, if that silver-haired guy didn't squint his eyes, he'd actually look like a human.

"However, it seems Aizen has found a way to circumvent the consequences," Tachikawa added.

Gin reminisces about everything concerning Dōsan Hanyū.

Even if we start counting from the year that Dōsan Hanyū descended, seven years is not a long time in the long lifespan of Soul Reaper.

Yin quietly connected the events that had happened to Dōsan, and finally, with a rare heavy voice, uttered three words.

"The Shiba Clan."

Tachikawa had never seen Gin speak in such a heavy tone before; he always seemed to have a foxy smile on his face.

That's right.

She had just received Aizen's orders to become the second lieutenant of the Thirteenth Division.

Another captain of the Thirteenth Division.

That is Kaien Shiba, the current head of the Shiba Clan!

The Shiba Clan can be completely connected.

Tachikawa couldn't help but put away his sharp tongue and become serious, "Do you have any important clues?"

Yin shook his head. "If there are any side effects to Dōsan Hanyū's abilities, the solution must lie with the Shiba Clan."

Perhaps it wasn't Rangiku Matsumoto who picked up Dōsan Hanyū back then, or perhaps Isshin Shiba found him.

Instead, it was Dōsan Hanyū who chose the Shiba Clan.

Everything is labeled "Correctness of Revision".

A chill ran through Tachikawa's heart, a mixture of fear of Dōsan's abilities and tension over Aizen's plan to seize them.

But only such skills could pique that man's interest and lead him to make a plan.

What exactly does the Shiba Clan possess?

At this moment, Tachikawa couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had chosen to communicate with Gin.

Miroku.

After a moment's thought, Tachikawa remembered, "Is this the Zanpakuto through generations of the Shiba Clan? What kind of abilities does it possess?"

"I don't know, it's all just speculation." Yin's expression was serious; after all, opportunities for the two of them to communicate so openly might not be many.

"Call."

There was no doubt about Ichimaru's words, but Tachikawa also agreed with this conjecture and brought up another matter.

"You should be able to Bankai now, right?"

Tachikawa revealed his true purpose for this trip.

"I analyzed and combined the Reishi of Soul Reaper, Hollows, Quincy to develop a deadly poison. Just like we discussed before, hand over your Zanpakuto to me for modification, and I will imbue it with the ability to kill in a single blow."

Yin narrowed her eyes, smiling like a little fox, it was unclear whether she had heard what Tachikawa was saying.

Dōsan Hanyū's face turned a little green; he seemed to remember who the guy in front of him was.

U Genjō's face became distorted, and slight corrosive wounds appeared on his face, revealing red flesh and blood.

"What a nice physique." U Genjō stuck his tongue out of his mouth, looking like a hanged ghost. "Kid, you've gotten stronger again."

"Don't talk like you know me."

"Isn't that right? Or perhaps you still haven't remembered who I am."

"No." Dōsan held up a finger. "You were indeed dead that day. Are you really the same Hollow you were before?"

U Genjō's expression changed drastically, and his eyeballs spun wildly, actually crushing his eyes.

"Hadō #4: Byakurai".

Before the words were even finished, the lightning had already pierced through U Genjō's shoulder blade, and the Void, disguised as U Genjō, had no time to react.

Damn it!

U Genjō the Roar, his body went limp, and he shrunk into a puddle of mud. His body spread out as big as a roof, covering Dōsan Hanyū.

"Hadō 54: Haien"

Flames erupted from the mud, as if igniting a fire in half the night sky.

"It's no use. My body has been modified to have considerable resistance to Kidō. Unless you have Kidō level seventy or higher, you can't hurt me at all."

Just as the falling mud was about to engulf Dōsan Hanyū, it sensed a Reishi shield surrounding him.

"Mirror Reversal."

Not only is there Reishi shield, but there is also a certain amount of counter-force around the shield, which is constantly destroying the void's body.

But such intensity was met with a sneer from the Mud Hollow.

"I'll take good care of your health, and also your knife!"

It's probably true that I'm a fraud.

From the perspective of Spiritual Pressure.

But it never belongs to the sense of emptiness or nothingness.

It possesses the mindset of an ordinary soul, or rather, the mindset of Soul Reaper.

In addition, it has another ability that it dares not reveal.

It can use the Zanpakuto of those it has devoured.

Even its creator, Kisuke Urahara, and even Tachikawa Magaki, were unaware of this.

That woman, Tachikawa, still thought that her absorption and use of Gen Kiji's Zanpakuto was just a special case.

He wanted to devour Dōsan Hanyū, obtain the ability that even Tachikawa could only envy, and then gain freedom!

The Mirror Reversal shattered, and Spiritual Pressure began to overflow.

Dōsan Hanyū used Shunpo and escape from Mud Hollow's attack range.

Where else can you hide?

"Thank you so much for the hint."

Dōsan raised his eyebrows slightly, and the surrounding Spiritual Pressure began to boil, with a gray mist spreading around him.
